The illness that sickened Hillary Clinton with pneumonia and caused her to have to be escorted away from September 11 ceremonies in New York on Sunday also struck down several members of her campaign team at Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn, PEOPLE has learned.
"Everyone's been sick," a campaign source tells PEOPLE.
At the end of August, two weeks before Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia, a debilitating bug was making the rounds among staff at her headquarters and campaign aides who travel with Clinton, a source tells PEOPLE.
At least half a dozen senior staff were felled, including campaign manager Robby Mook. Two top advisers even needed emergency medical treatment, the source says. One top adviser diagnosed at a Brooklyn urgent-care center with a respiratory infection was being treated with antibiotics in the days before Clinton's diagnosis. Another top adviser was taken by ambulance to the ER by ambulance after collapsing from what turned out to be severe dehydration, the source said.

this is perfect...let them continue to run with the line “its no big deal” for the next month...
Obvious nominee for comment of the day. Well played.
Oh my gosh....this is beyond insanity now.
Ok. So how many media scum have come down with it? How many members of the public have been sickened? And think of the children! How many of THEM are sick because of this überbitch and her insensitive cold blooded uncaring staff? When do the lawsuits against her, her doctor, and her staff start?
I posted this yesterday, but these are the talking points I was hearing from Hillary’s sycophants:
1. Hillary showed great strength by soldiering on through to the 9/11 Memorial despite being so severely sick since Friday.
2. She was bullied by big, bad Donald Trump & the mean-spirited media, who have hounded her about her whereabouts. She had to attend despite her illness.
3. She is a woman & is subject to the double standard of being treated as the weaker sex, therefore she had to attend even though she was sick. Such bravery. Just the kind of leader we need in the White House.
Now we get this BS - everybody on her staff is also sick.
That means that the little girl “shrillary”** posed with yesterday afternoon in front of chelsea’s house could also get sick.
** —if— that was really shrillary
This reminds me of the old SNL skits on Gerald Ford when he dropped his papers and the Secret Service all started dropping papers to make him look less clumsly.
How many of her falls over the last year are they attributing to this pneumonia?
Sadly, there are tens of millions of idiots in this country who will buy this explanation. The Clintons must pinch themselves everyday thinking how easy all of this has been for them the past quarter century.
I tried to post it to Facebook, but they wouldn’t let me. Don’t know if my comments set off their censor or not.
Well, I guess now we KNOW the truth, it came from People Mag. So Hill collapses and then goes over to her daughter’s, Chelsea the PhD, $10 MM pad and spends a couple quality hours with the Fam and grandkids all the while having infectious pneumonia. What a gal.
And the reason Bill isn’t sick? Hell, he KNOWS better than to hang around Hillary!
Body double?
This has been going around in her inner circles for weeks and she was just diagnosed with it on Friday?
WTH. More questions...
It makes sense then, that she would go to Chelsea’s and play with her grandkids
Of course, it’s true. Why do you think that Hillary hasn’t been holding press conferences? She doesn’t want to expose anyone to the persistent virus which has been holding on for nine months now. Isn’t she wonderfully thoughtful? (/sarcasm)
You're not kidding. I wanted to see if DU was panicking. No, they were congratulating her on how hard she was working despite having pneumonia.
It was TOTALLY irresponsible for her to be out in public with her diagnosis. It goes far beyond the lack of judgement in not taking care of herself or having protocols for medical care.
Shouldn’t she be Quarantined after willfully and knowingly transmitting an Infectious Disease??
What will they say when we find out it is really that new strain of Tuberculosis that is DRUG RESISTANT
True.
